Financial Literacy and Wellbeing Workshops: Scholarships 101, Collaboration with the Office of Student Financial Assistance

The financial literacy workshops aim to inform TRIO students of the financial aid process within a college/university setting. Students will have an opportunity to learn about the various types of financial aid available. These workshops will prepare students to complete and/or renew their FAFSA, learn how to budget their finances, and build their personal credit. TRIO will aim to educate students on making financial decisions that will help them throughout their college careers and in their personal lives. In conjunction with the workshops, TRIO will introduce GradReady to TRIO students and provide topics for review on personal finances, loans, and budgeting. Some of this programming will occur during First-Generation College Student Week.
